Managing IP Risk In-House: Problems, Priorities & Pressures

View Session Speakers

In-house legal teams are on the front lines of identifying, assessing, and mitigating IP risk—but doing so effectively requires balancing limited resources, navigating evolving business goals, and coping with various external pressures. This panel will feature experienced in-house counsel discussing the real-world challenges of managing IP risk across the innovation lifecycle—from patent portfolio gaps and trade secret protection to third-party rights, open-source compliance, and emerging AI-related risks. Panelists will share how they prioritize issues, communicate risk to business stakeholders, work with outside counsel, and build cross-functional strategies that align with enterprise objectives.
